Validate vCenter Servers, WSDL files, and time sync settings

Validate and patch vCenter Server systems, add WSDL files

If you use vCenter Server 5.0 and 5.0.1, apply a patch to manage a known issue with the servers. See known issues in the release notes for details on acquiring and applying the patch.

If you use vSphere 5.0 or 5.0 update 1, be sure to add two missing WSDL files that the app needs to make API calls to vCenter. Access the VMware Knowledge Base for detailed installation instructions. The missing files are:

  • reflect-message.xsd
  • reflect-types.xsd

Validate time synchronization

Verify time synchronization throughout your environment to improve visibility into application and operating system health. Check the time synchronization for the following components in your environment.

  • Hosts
  • Splunk Enterprise search head and indexers

Consider using NTP or VMware host/guest time synchronization.
